4-3-2-1 axial Malaga

this tactic with malaga second division champion.

This system allows a large axial presence. No matter how your midfield will be organized, it will take 5 players in the middle zone and thus they will make it possible to squar a lot the ground. Full axis you will undoubtedly have three players thus forcing the opponent to go through the sides. It will therefore be easier to isolate.
4-3-2-1 is effective both offensive and defensive. Because of the axial presence we move very quickly from one situation to another. It is impossible to have an uncovered remote area. The block is mostly very compact.4-3-2-1 is effective both offensive and defensive. Because of the axial presence we move very quickly from one situation to another.

By the possibility of insertion between the lines, your players will be often demarcated and will open paths in the back of the opposing circles. The advantage will be to be able to always offer availability and be destabilizing for the opponent.By the possibility of insertion between the lines, your players will be often demarcated and will open paths in the back of the opposing circles.

disadvantages:
The first negative point is of course the rigor that this system requires. Rigor of placement but also tactical rigor. Players and especially those in the middle must immediately understand how the action takes place or anticipate its evolution to be placed in the right place.

The debauchery of energy will undoubtedly be greater too. We will see later with the placement of circles but they will often exercise the pressing recovery and become attacking by proposing solutions in support of the advanced striker. The midfielders will have a lot of work in this system.
